There are objects of special interest line_6: included in the sample (e.g. 1548 + 114 A, B). ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: BEAVER fname: EDWARD inst: UC, SAN DIEGO country: USA ! lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.

S/N will be 15-20 allowing us to measure line_3: emission as well as absorption lines. One additional object will be observed line_4: only with G160L, and one will be observed with G400H because the spatial line_5: resolution of the ST is required. line_8: Cycle 1: all exposures ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: We need UV spectroscopy from the atmospheric cut-off to rest Lyman alpha. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: The SV prerequisite programs for all FOS observations in this program are: line_2: Prop ID 2195 FOS Target Acquisition Tests All observations line_3: Prop ID 1317 Int./Ext. Wavelength Offsets 1st target line_4: Prop ID 1318 Spectral Flat Fields 1st target line_5: Prop ID 1320 Absolute Spectrophotometry 1st visit of bright targets ! question: 8 section: 1 line_1: We will schedule nearby ground-based observations at Lick Observatory if line_2: we are given enough lead time. ! question: 12 section: 1 line_1: This program is designed to tackle a carefully chosen statistical sample line_2: of objects, and, while some interesting results may emerge from study of single line_3: members of the sample, the project will not be complete until some 80% of the line_4: data has been obtained and analyzed. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: We will observe a sample of 12 QSOs with the high resolution gratings on line_2: the FOS to determine the evolution of Lyman alpha absorption below z = 1.6, and line_3: to make a statistical study of the emission properties of low-z quasars with line_4: much better S/N than is possible with IUE. We will also study the differences line_5: in the absorption along two closely spaced paths. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: BURBIDGE fname: E.
